3rd person cameras in games have some pretty big advantages over this rig. They can rotate, they can watch the car rotate while they stay still, they're adjustable. And first-person view is all kinds of convenient, you tubby bearded bastard.
I'm a bit disappointed. I was expecting the same sort of crane structure behind but was hoping more for the steering wheel, accelerator and brake up there with a seat for the driver. So you're actually driving the car from several feet above and behind the car.
